I thought I would post an update to the project.
I pulled out the non producing zuchinni and planted them in the ouside garden, and they survived despite 100 degree temps and brutal handling. I decided to replant the leaf lettuce and spinach where they were. I also planted some brussel sprouts and artichoke but I haven't seen much from these yet.
The west end of the greenhouse is totally out of control! I should have spent more time as things were growing to hang them up or something. I will try to straighten it out this weekend.
The river bed system is in an equally overgrown state depite my harvesting of the swiss chard and basil leaves. I guess I will be doing those again this weekend also.
here is the lettuce after 2 weeks from planting.
Soon I will be looking at planting a fall crop and adding to the river bed system. I am quite pleased with the outcomes so far, and I am looking forward to taking this to the next level.
Question for everyone is this , I am starting to build up some solids in my sumps does anyone have a good way of cleaning this out?
I am planning on my first 50% water change this weekend so maybe I can get some pics of the fish.
Enjoy ,
I use a wet/dry vac. Suck it up, dump it in the beds.
I think the solids and excess feed are what ended up in my beds and went septic ..... whew, what an odor! now I've got only water until the tomatoes quit qroducing ..... then I'm going to tear it all apart and get ready for winter ..... we're already into fall here, our summer only lasts from about mid-May to mid-August some years. At least I'll have a head start next spring
I use the Linux Operating System ...... Free as in beer!
